Should I send in my VS for service?

Am I wrong about that. I'd like to get a VS150 but the whole service issue (and worries about poor line lay) have me hesitant.

My ZeeBaas started leaking with about 2 weeks to go in the season last year. I sent it in and they seviced and fixed it for the cost of shipping and a couple small parts. On top of that, they put a new little rubber band thing on the knob to replace one that fell off and sent me extras without me asking.

I'm also looking to pick up either a used VS 150 or the VM 150 if I can find a decent deal. I've heard enough good about them that I'm not too concerned about the service.
